Migrate previously inherited Gamescope defaults on API 26–28.

The previous default selected Gamescope for Adreno devices. The Settings dialog reads that inherited value and saves it even when the user does not change the display-server picker. On API 26–28, this can persist Gamescope and override the new X11 fallback for new containers, selecting a display path that requires API 29. Migrate only inherited defaults, or provide a recovery path that preserves intentional Gamescope overrides.

Review comment at @app/src/main/java/app/gamenative/utils/ContainerUtils.kt at
line 104:
Update the display-server default migration in the flow using
Build.VERSION.SDK_INT so API 26–28 replace only legacy inherited Gamescope
defaults with X11, including when the Settings dialog saves an unchanged picker
value. Preserve intentional user-selected Gamescope overrides; establish how
inherited and explicit values are distinguished before migrating them.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
